Stacking & Reclaiming

Apr 2, 2014
Challenge: Effective stockpile management is essential to mine productivity. Whether you’re employing a blending strategy or are just feeding the plant, your stacker-reclaimer is a key component of your process. An orchestra of motors and gears, stacker-reclaimers are susceptible to periodic mechanical failures even though they aren’t as exposed to the extreme operation that other mine assets endure. With regular data collection by your staff and other preventive measures, some mechanical issues are detected and resolved. Where your productivity suffers, however, is when unplanned downtime strikes as a result of an unforeseen event.
 
Solution: Your equipment stacks, luffs, travels, and slews. Emerson works with mining companies to outfit these vehicle systems with the Emerson CSI 6500 condition-based monitoring system. Continuously monitoring critical gears and motors, the CSI 6500 exposes elevating machinery stress with a patented signal processing approach and surfaces real problems to your staff for corrective action. On vehicle conveyor assemblies, the Emerson CSI 9420 wireless vibration transmitter supplies a cost-effective monitoring solution. Using Emerson's AMS Machinery Manager, your maintenance staff can gain a heightened view of emerging problem areas with information from both your online and wireless monitoring systems all integrated into a common software interface.
